Early 1900's, rare DOPS Real Photo postcard showing Oregon lumberjacks breaking a pose for traveling photographer. Interesting handwritten message on back reads; "The method of falling large timber on the Pacific Coast. Starting the undercut to throw the tree. A flat form is built around all large trees, the tree is notched to throw it a general direction, then sawed down."
